What Are Crowns?

Dental crowns, or caps, are prosthetic devices designed to cover a damaged, weakened, or aesthetically compromised tooth. They encase the entire visible portion of the tooth above the gum line, restoring its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Benefits of tooth crowns include:

  • Restoration of Tooth Function: Crowns are essential for restoring the function of teeth weakened by decay, fractures, or extensive fillings. They provide a robust covering that enables effective chewing and biting, allowing for normal dental function and comfort.
  • Protection: Tooth crowns offer critical protection for teeth at risk of further damage or fracture, particularly after undergoing root canal therapy or extensive dental restorations. By encasing the tooth completely, crowns reinforce its structural integrity and shield it from potential harm.
  • Enhanced Aesthetics: Beyond functional restoration, crowns significantly improve the appearance of teeth. They can effectively mask severe discoloration, correct misshapen or unevenly sized teeth, and address various cosmetic imperfections. This aesthetic enhancement restores a natural and appealing smile, boosting confidence and overall facial aesthetics.
  • Improved Oral Health: Crowns play a pivotal role in maintaining and promoting better oral health by preserving the natural tooth structure. By covering and protecting weakened or damaged teeth, crowns help prevent further decay and deterioration. This preservation enhances oral hygiene and reduces the likelihood of future dental complications, contributing to long-term oral health and well-being.

How We Approach Your Crown

We prioritize a patient-centered approach to crowns that emphasizes convenience and comprehensive care. We strive to accommodate same-day appointments whenever possible, recognizing the importance of timely patient treatment. Our focus extends beyond immediate dental concerns to include your oral health's long-term restoration and preservation. Whether we're restoring a damaged tooth or enhancing aesthetics, we emphasize durable, high-quality materials and meticulous craftsmanship in every crown.

Our Tooth Crown Process

At our practice, dental crowns are crucial in preserving and restoring dental health. We begin with a comprehensive assessment that includes x-rays to evaluate your tooth's condition and determine if a crown is necessary. If a root canal treatment is needed, we collaborate with trusted specialists to provide thorough care before proceeding with crown placement. We strive to preserve your teeth through crowns whenever possible but can refer you to a specialist if an extraction is needed.

Our tooth crowns serve multiple purposes, from protecting and strengthening damaged teeth to replacing lost teeth after extraction. Whether you receive a conventional crown or an implant-supported crown for a missing tooth, we prioritize durability and natural aesthetics. Each crown is custom-made in a dental lab, with a typical turnaround time of approximately two weeks. This allows us to provide precise fit and function with our crowns, tailoring them to your unique dental needs. Our practice strives to deliver comprehensive crown solutions that enhance oral health and restore smiles with long-lasting results.

Testimonials

"Dr Plant and his team are the best. They know what they are doing and how to do it safely and comfortably for their clients. They always have your health in mind."

Laura Eichman

"My husband has been going to Dr. Plant for more than 35 years. I started going to Dr. Plant about 30 years ago. It was when I broke a molar at the beginning of a long weekend. I was in pain, called my dentist. There was no answering machine to leave an urgent message, no way to reach help. I called Dr. Plant's office and left a message. Got a call back, came in for a temporary fix. That was enough for me to switch. We have brought extended family over to his practice too. Dr. Plant's office has got to be the most well run, thoughtful, careful dentist office. They are like family."
